Wisdom from a War Wretched Soldier (10) Flash backs, knife hacks, body sacks, twisted facts Head in the clouds, but lungs chalk full of dust Metal in hand, almost as cold as my acts Human blood boiling, not from lust News paper, "Heads Line Street"; execution Sad thing is sometimes we're the ones with fault Pulling the trigger for retribution But sanity is like ice and war salt Safety is only found on our guns I've divorced reality for insight And I see corruption and its reruns You don't even find sleep in the night We're simply pawns worked by politicians Every new day seen is a true blessing We just pray for improving conditions Please pray because my name I'm now guessing |
